āKristen is the one person who like, floods him with this history of who he used to be and what he used to want, and he canāt help but be like, consumed by what could potentially be a second chance.ā
Cory says that Isabella brings Edward back to who he was before he killed Kristen. Yet Edward has repeatedly said that he likes who he is now, and he is certainly āhitting his strideā working for Oswald. Cory has said that Edward enjoys working for Penguin and has fun manipulating things in his favor, itās literally the perfect job for him.
He has everything he wants.
Going off of that, when Ed said āwhat more could anyone ask forā to Oswald I feel like he was saying it too, y’know? He is just so happy where he is right now.
I think that he truly does not want to go back to who he was, but I also think that heās going to explore the possibility and entertain the idea for the time being with Isabella anyway. This is because he wants to be sure that Oswald- and a life of Riddlesā¢ Ā and Crimeā¢ – are what he truly wants
Which, I mean, DUH. Heās gonna become The Riddler, of course he doesnāt want Isabella and what she represents. She is a kind of metaphor for what Edward used to want, and where he wanted it from: love, praise, and acceptance from peers. He still wants those things, those feelings, but he is receiving them from a different source. Right now, he is getting what he truly desires more than anything from Oswald, and through more nefarious means than Kristen (ānormalcyā) offered.
TD;DR Ed is getting closure from his old life by using Isabella. This is part of his his journey to becoming The Riddler; he needs to completely leave Kristen and everything she represents behind in order to fully commit. But this is Gotham so of course itās going to go horribly wrong š
gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh *crying*
-pats your head-
I knowā¦ I knowā¦
Fuckā¦ it went horribly wrong, just like I thought when she was first introduced.
As in Ed didnāt let go of her through a conscious decision; Oswald made the decision for him
He is getting closer to becoming the Riddler
Hopefully he will realize that Oswald still satisfies what he needs most š
I can never get over the fact of how much the people of Gotham really seemed to like and love Oswald
Ask him.Ā He understands what it is to bring something into being.Ā It is a part of you.Ā Forever.
Good-bye, Fish.Ā Donāt come back.
I have very mixed feelings about this. Because I absolutely hate Fish and Hugo so Iām salty with Oswald cause he didnāt kill them but at the same time I have this feeling that is just kinda like aww
My frst reaction when I first saw this scene. Now I just get so many feels and wish Mama Fish was around :’(
āBecause youāre mine. You were my umbrella boy, remember? You rubbed my feet when they were tired. And now look at you, the terror of Gotham. Everything Iāve done in my life, possibly the best thing was turning Oswald Cobblepot into the Penguin. I couldnāt destroy that.ā – Fish Mooney, 3×02
āWhen I met you you were a nervous, jittery loser. You were nothing. I created Edward Nygma. And I am the only one in the world who truly sees you as you are. Who you can still become. You canāt do this.ā – Oswald Cobblepot, 3×14
Oswald is merciful, Edward isnāt.
Itās such a rare trait even for a man like him; but when he shows mercy, i feel very astonished!
When it comes to people he cares about who cross him, he goes into a fit of hurt and rage, in need to kill them; but when the moment is there, his mind instantly changes, and lets them go; be it Fish Mooney, Edward Nygma, Jim Gordon even.
from the beginning of season 1 to the end of season 3. watching them grow as characters has been so amazing and rewarding. there has been such a change in the two of them. it makes me happy.
